Mathematics

Each day at St.
Vincent de Paul Primary School, we implement a 1-hour numeracy block with
key focus on Number, Space and Measurement, Chance and Data. We relate
mathematics to real life situations and emphasize the use of concrete materials
for developing mathematical understandings.

At St Vincent de Paul
Primary School we understand that each child learns at his/her own pace and in
a variety of ways. We emphasize the importance of providing a variety of
learning experiences to cater for the different learning styles and provide
opportunities for students to develop their learning in mathematics according
to their individual needs. Learning strategies include open ended
investigations, problem solving, discussion, outdoor mathematics activities and
cooperative learning.

St Vincent de Paul
Primary School provides Extending Mathematical Understanding (EMU) program.
This intervention is offered to grade one students who need some extra
assistance in the area of Mathematics. The students work with two other
students and a specially trained teacher for 30 minutes per day. An
individual learning plan and focused series of lessons is developed for
each student.
